CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN 2 POPULATION PROPORTIONS Pharmaceutical scientists tested the effectiveness of a new drug designed to cure malaria. They recorded the proportion of rats that were cured when given the existing drug (sample 1 proportion) and the proportion of rats that were cured when given the new drug (sample 2 proportion). The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cured rats between these two groups was (-0.18, -.005). Interpret this interval. O p1 is substantially more than p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the proportion of rats cured is substantially higher when given the existing drug verses the new drug. O p1 is substantially less than p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the proportion of rats cured is substantially higher when given the new drug verses the existing drug. O p1 is similar to p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the proportion of rats cured is similar, whether given the new drug or the existing drug.

Suppose that you will be taking a random sample from a population and that you intend to find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, µ. Which sample size, 25 or 50, will result in the confidence interval giving a more accurate estimate of µ?
In the previous example, you learned about a random sample of 60 Redeye Piranha. From that sample, a 99% confidence interval for the true mean length of all Redeye Piranha in that river was calculated to be 12.09 cm to 13.67 cm. (a) Explain what would happen to the length of the interval if the confidence level were decreased to 95%. (b) Explain what would happen to the length of the original interval if the sample size were decreased to 30 fish.
Which one of the following statements about confidence intervals is false? Given the same sample of data, a 99% confidence interval will be wider than a 95% confidence interval. The size of the population affects the width of a confidence interval. The sample statistic determines the center of the confidence interval. The value of z* affects the width of a confidence interval. The general format of a confidence interval is “sample statistic ± margin of error.”

We calculate a confidence interval. Then we gather additional data and find a new confidence interval. What happens to the margin of error if the sample size is increased but the standard deviation and confidence level stay the same? Explain your reasoning. If the sample size is increase Suppose, after looking at some sample data, we find (30,34) for our 95% confidence interval estimate for a population mean µ. For this set of data, the point estimate, î, was The margin of error in this confidence interval is
